I'd say he looked like a beast in his last fight. Went toe to toe with one of the most feared strikers at 185 and put him down.

You think Brian Stann is one of the most feared strikers? He got wrecked by a flat footed Chris Leben. He got beat by an over the hill Franklin (twice). I think Cung Le beats him in a rematch. And if Robbie Lawler hadn't dropped to WW, I think he would leave Wandy drooling on the mat. Just my opinion, but I think people want Wandy to be the guy they saw in Pride. He's simply not.

He's a warrior, no doubt about it. But no longer a threat or contender at either weight class.

Yeah at 185 he is one of the most feared strikers. Behind Anderson, Vitor, maybe Cung..

And Wandy looked like s--- at 185, I'm not disputing that. At 205 he looks better though. To think that Chael is way better and would destroy him without a doubt is ridiculous. Completely different style fights, but Wanderlei beat Bisping way worse than Chael did.

Anyways, the point I'm trying to make is it has a back story and these are two big names. The perfect fight for both as its very winnable for Chael, we won't see Wandy suffer a brutal ko, and its the type of fight that'll keep Chael around.

I think Chael would like to fight him regardless of wether he is/isn't a true player. It's a fight he wouldn't have to sell that hard. They don't like each other and as you pointed out Wandy is a God to former Pride fans. Even the fans who feel Chael didn't deserve a shot at Jones might buy this match

I don't want him to retire but I would completely understand if he did so. He has the ability to remain in the top 3-5 of the Middleweight division no question about it, but he's getting up there in age, has made a ton of money in recent years and has a broadcasting job lined up whenever he decides to call it a day. Losing to Anderson and Jones should not signal the end of someone's career.

Chael should retire from fighting on PPV. He is basically a waste of a fight. It's ok if he fights on Fox (sports one through ocho) however.

That makes absolutely zero freakin' sense. Why would he opt out of PPVs when that's where the higher paydays are? The organization decides what venues he fights at, and at this point seats are being filled and people are ordering the PPVs when he fights.
